Why Hire a Professional? - As simple as it looks to just buy some cheap face paint and splash it on the face, not everyone is going to be able to give a professional job. I have been painting for a few year and in that time I have painted hundreds of faces. I use only top quality paints and equipment to produce top quality faces. With many hours of practice I am able to paint at a reasonable speed, which is what you need for little ones who don’t like sitting still for too long, it also means I am able to get through more faces.

 

 What areas do you cover? - I am located in Monroeville PA 10 mins from downtown Pittsburgh. I do travel slightly further (Usually between Punxytawney all they way to Irwin pa to Pittsburgh Zoo) on special request, although it is not always possible. Be sure to give me plenty of notice and I will try my best to make it. There may be an extra cost for travel out of town.

 

 What sort of face paint do you use? -All the paints we use are high quality FDA Compliant cosmetic grade paints, designed for use on the skin. I use  Diamond FX, Wolfe FX, Paradise and TAG. All glitter is approved for cosmetic use and is safe around the eyes.

 

 Why is it so important to use professional cosmetics? -"Non-Toxic" "safe for skin". Professional-grade cosmetic face paints have been thoroughly tested. They are designed to be easy to work with, long lasting, comfortable to wear, vibrant and most importantly, they are safe!

 

 Are The Paints Easy to Remove? -Most of the face paint should wash off with just warm water or a baby wipe. However, some colors can occasionally be a little tougher to remove use- (soap and water with a wash clothe/rag). You can also use Baby oil, tear free shampoo, and make up remover. I generally recommend washing off before going to bed, as some colors can rub off and may leave a slight mark on the pillow case.

 

 How do you clean your face painting gear? - To keep everything clean and tidy I use baby wipes and hand sterilizer.  Brushes and sponges are thoroughly rinsed between clients and sterilized and cleaned between parties.  For health and safety reasons, we will not face paint anyone who appears to have a skin condition or any form of illness – instead maybe offering a neat arm design.

 

 How many faces can you paint in an hour?  - I can usually paint between 8 – 12 faces an hour, depending on the complexity of the design. 

 

 How can I pay you? - Payment can be made by cash on the day. Online bank transfers through Paypal are also accepted but must be arranged before the event.  No deposit is necessary, although adequate notice of any cancelations would be appreciated.

 

 What do I need to supply? - I provide all of my own face paint and gear. I just need a small space to set up, with good lighting and cover from the sun on hot days or shelter from the wind and rain in bad weather, indoors or outdoor is fine. If you are able to provide a table and chair that is great otherwise I can provide my own.

 

 Do you do charity events? - We love to help out where we can, talk to us and see what we can come up with to help you out.

 

 Do you only do face painting? - No, I also paint parts of the body arms and legs. I am always willing to try new things so don’t hesitate to ask if there is something specific you want done.

 

 How do I make a booking? - The easiest way to make a booking is to email me at purpleskunk77@yahoo.com, as soon as you have an idea of a date, booking early is always best as we can book up fast. In the email it would be great if you could let me know the date and time of the event, the type of event and the location, and I will get back to you as soon as possible!
